Corbin allowed six runs on seven hits with two walks and eight strikeouts across 4.1 innings during a no-decision against the Indians on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
This was supposed to be just a short tune-up outing, but Corbin ended up throwing 94 pitches. He racked up eight punchouts for the fifth time in his last seven outings, but Corbin missed an opportunity at his 15th win, which he would have earned had he recorded two more outs. He finishes the regular season 14-7 with a 3.25 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 238 strikeouts in 202 innings.

Corbin is expected to have his start Saturday against Cleveland shortened so that he can be available out of the bullpen for Tuesday's wild-card game, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Nationals want all hands on deck to help them qualify for the divisional round, and that includes Corbin, who would be pitching on just two days' rest if called upon Tuesday. It's unclear exactly how long he's expected to go in Saturday's game.

Corbin (13-7) allowed one run on three hits and four walks over six innings Monday, striking out six batters and earning a win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin's line may not look too impressive but he kept Philadelphia off the scoreboard for five innings before allowing his first and only run in the sixth. After issuing four free passes Monday, he's up to 17 walks in 28 innings this month. The 30-year-old southpaw owns a 230:68 K:BB for the season. Corbin will make his final regular-season start of 2019 at home against Cleveland on Saturday.

Corbin isn't listed among the Nationals' probable starters for the team's three-game series in Miami over the weekend, Byron Kerr of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since Corbin had pitched in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Cardinals, the Nationals could have brought him back Sunday on his normal four days' rest, but No. 5 starter Austin Voth will instead get the nod for the series finale with the Marlins. The extra day off should help Corbin recover from Tuesday's 110-pitch outing while also allowing the Nationals to deploy the southpaw against a direct competitor in the NL wild-card race instead of the last-place Marlins. Corbin now lines up for his next turn in Monday's series opener with the Phillies in Washington.

Corbin (13-7) picked up the win in Tuesday's 6-2 victory over the Cardinals, allowing two unearned runs on five hits and four walks over six innings. He struck out 11.
EDGE Analysis
The 11 whiffs tied his season high, a figure Corbin last reached July 7. The southpaw has delivered quality starts in seven of his last eight trips to the mound, posting a 2.16 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 60:20 K:BB through 50 innings over that stretch. Corbin will look to keep rolling in his next outing Sunday in Miami.

Corbin (12-7) got the win against the Twins on Thursday, giving up three earned runs on nine hits over six innings, striking out three, and walking none as the Nationals prevailed 12-6.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin kept on rolling against Minnesota, tossing his seventh quality start in his last eight outings and nabbing his 12th win of the season. He's having a stellar campaign for the Nationals, posting a 3.20 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 213:60 K:BB across 185.2 innings. The left-hander will look to keep it going in his next start, which will come on the road against the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Corbin (11-7) took the loss Friday, giving up two runs (one earned) on three hits and six walks over five innings while striking out nine as the Nationals fell 4-3 to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty wasn't at his sharpest -- the six free passes were a season high for Corbin -- but he generated a whopping 20 swinging strikes among his 107 pitches (63 total strikes) and fanned at least eight batters for the fifth time in his last six starts, a stretch during which he's posted a 2.13 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 46:16 K:BB over 38 innings. Corbin will look to get back into the win column Thursday in Minnesota.

Corbin (11-6) allowed three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out eight over six innings of work as he cruised to an easy win against the Marlins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin had a historic day on the mound as he became the third pitcher on the Nationals' staff to record 200 strikeouts during the 2019 season. He had a particularly good day overall as he worked four shutout innings before running into some trouble in the fifth, where he gave up all three of his runs on a Starlin Castro solo home run, an Austin Dean RBI double, and a Bryan Holaday RBI sacrifice fly. He then went on to pitch a scoreless sixth and was done for the day after 95 pitches. The southpaw now owns a 3.19 ERA to go along with a 201:54 K:BB ratio across 174.2 innings in 2019. He slated to start next against the Braves in Atlanta on Friday.

Corbin is scheduled to make his next start Sunday against the Marlins, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Corbin looked on track to make only one start (Tuesday against the Orioles) this week, but he'll now get a two step after manager Dave Martinez elected to shorten the rotation to four men on account of Thursday's off day. The lefty was unable to come away with a win despite a strong showing versus Baltimore (seven innings of two-run ball), but he'll have a good opportunity to claim his 11th victory when he takes on a 47-85 Marlins squad.
